New Embdoidery Card,

I think that there can't be never enough for me from nice and beautiful embroidery patterns :) I supposed to get it on Saturday, but again I missed the time and came to the shop half an hour after it was closed. In some way I always manage it with this shop and just on Saturdays. Perhaps, that other shops are opened until 15:00 and this particular shop is closing 13:00 :) Hopefully there comes a day I learn those times, but seems, that this day i long from me.

I am so happy, that I got that card home.  I loved this fine Christmas patterns what this card had. Last year I bought Christmas patterns from Husqvarna Viking and this year came even Pfaff out with ones. I felt like I am in heaven. On Wednesday I will plan to sit all day in my small hobby room. I have one day this week for me and it will go to handwork. Something else and interesting to do and also my way to have a peaceful moment and calm my stress down.

Just a little bit more,

Today morning I saw, that I have only 2 more kilos left and I am finally in normal weight and BMI according all the calculations. I can't believe that I am on my way to be smaller me after so many years. I could see, that last time I was in normal weight around 26 - 27 years ago. That has been long time for me to fight with my weight. Long and lonely fight. Have been judged a lot during my short life, have missed much in life, because it has made me feel as prisoner in my own mind and body and so much more. Many people I have learned to know under years are quite shallow. Under your eyes, they are one and behind you, it is totally different attitude. In the same time, i must say that I have learned to know some wonderful persons, who are Friends with big F. For those persons I am very happy over to have them in my life and that I have had possibility to learn to know them.

So, 2 more kilos and I have arrived my part milestone. To go my goal, I have still around 15 kilos left. After that I feel I have managed with the one part of hard work. After to come to the end of milestone, it is to keep it. Another hard work, but I hope that I manage it. I feel, that have I manage it so far, when I should manage also this. Time will show, but I am optimistic about all this.
Now, I will see, that will evening bring to me.
Have a nice evening,
                                  Love,

My first bra,

Another day is coming to its end and soon it is time for me to hug my pillow. Today was a last day for my sewing and inspiration weekend in Jönköping. For me, it was time to learn how to sew my own bra. It was all day course and I do not regret that I changed my previous booked course for that course. It was fantastic course. The course leader was very good. She had prepared to us all a personal sewing kit with different materials and colors.
To sew my own bra, was good exercise to learn to sew in stretch material as well as lace. For me it was bit scary, since I have not been a good friend with any stretch material, but I must admit, it went very well. I am so happy with the end result. Of course, I did make some mistakes,  but it is totally normal, since how else we learn to sew and for the first time, the result for me was perfect. It made me to decide, that from now on, I start to sew my own bras. No more need to buy, since then I can have personal bra, what anyone else does not have. Much more personal. It took it's time, but it was not very hard one.
For this year, this interesting weekend is over. That is bit sad. I really hope, that next year will it be again. I know, that I would be there, since it was so interesting, it was fun and I learned quite a much. But that was not the only reason. I also could meet with my friends and get some more inspiration. That is something what have generated several interesting ideas for some projects :) Hopefully soon I can do so much that I can feel more happy. Have missed my handwork but my shoulder makes that I can't still do as much as I want. Tomorrow I will go look after some things and then I will see what the result will be :P
Now it is time to look a bit TV and soon it is time to hug my pillow. Tomorrow I will update bit more my blog as well my facebook page for handcraft.
Have a nice evening,
                                  Love,

Me and my crazy hobby,

Today was another day in Bäckadal gymnasium for my handcraft weekend. I must admit, that I love to be there and to do, what we have done. I love handwork and I feel that I can hide myself from my worries and all the hard times. It is one thing what is very good for my soul.
Today I decided to learn more to know my wonderful Smarty :D I must say, I am not surprised that she got that name, since it seems that it is perfect name for my sewing machine since she is still smarten than me, but hopefully I will learn more to know my machine, than I did before.
Today, as yesterday I came home with a new embroidery card. I loved yesterday what we learned and that was the reason, why I bought one more embroidery card in felting technique. Tomorrow is last day for course and after that my Smarty will be back at home and I can hide myself behind it.

All Saints' Day

Today is again All Saints' Day and that has been celebrated in so many places in Sweden as well in other countries. Including in Estonia.
As it is usual, people visiting the graves and light a candle to the closest ones. Even I was in churchyard today and we lighted candle to our beloved ones, who have left us and went to the other side of the world. I think that it is nice that people can visit churchyards even if they don't have their relatives in particular churchyard, since they have memorial place in most churchyards and everyone can go and visit them.
This year I had two more persons to light a candle for. The latest person left us in October and we was his funeral service last Friday.  A nice ceremony with a lot of emotions. Sometimes it feels that life is unfair, but hopefully he got his inner peace now. That he looks down to us and laughs.
That is also a time to think about others who have left us. For me, I miss my mother to talk with. Sometimes I feel so sad, that I can't talk with her, but with 10 years it has been bit easier to take thoughts on her but that does not mean, that I do not miss her as much as I have done it before. At least I am happy that I could light a candle for her in memorial place and just think of her together with others. Now she is resting at least together with my grandmother and grandfather. My brother visited mums grave and lighted a candle for her. Hopefully soon I can do that. Time will show it.
Now, I will go and enjoy the evening with candles at home.
Have a nice evening,
                                   Love,
                                              Ingrit
